Merry Christmas everyone

As I am on a trip through East Germany visiting my family I already wish you guys Merry Christmas :-)

Alltime Christmas favourite

Not as good as the original by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl but still good.

Lyrics:
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

Let's SCHWING?

Sometimes in life it makes you kinda sad if there is a place you liked and now it is in danger. Either if it was a place you spent (maybe not only) good times like your former favorite pub that stops existing or a company that was having a hard time during the financial crisis with still no end in sight.
The latter is currently the case in my life.

For more than three years I worked in the IT department of a company called SCHWING. They mainly build truck mounted concrete pumps which are used for instance for constructing skyscrapers like the taipei101 or big bridges etc. During my stay at Schwing the company had one record business year after another and always managed to expand their staff. But recently they are struggling and facing a high amount of lay-offs in the coming months. My best wishes to all the former co-workers and especially to my friend Patrick that you guys won't be harmed too much... As always there will be better times someday and I really hope you can enjoy these still working for this company. Good luck.
